A Python + Geometry class not using PyGeo.
Ouch.
Advantages -
Ability to draw (in 3d, betond Flatland) from the interactive prompt.
Live, realtime interactivity. Fly-by, rotate, dynamically manipulate, etc.
one's constructions.
Maybe most importantly - stay *in* Python. No need to introduce Povray
semantics to folks who are getting their first taste of programming in
Python. Give them a break.
And export to Povray directly from PyGeo if one wants a "picture".
Don't get it. Truly.
And would be happy to work with you on correcting this oversight for future
classes. ;)
